notes:
Like many of our traditions, the mistletoe make-out session started in Europe and worked its way across the Atlantic. According to Norse mythology Baldur, the god of peace was, was shot and killed by an arrow made of mistletoe. After the other gods saved his bacon and brought him back to life Frigga, the goddess of love, transformed mistletoe into a symbol of love and peace. Thus, everyone who passes under it must receive a kiss.
